    Yep, very head scratch worthy is the fancy-ass HL super-duper high speed charger. However my last sentence especially referenced beyond just that one item. My most recent unit failure, which prompted me to twist off the chamber assembly, a feat I haven't repeated and not without trying. It...

    I thought you would have. A pity it wasn't so simple, although better not to have problematic USB power adapters. The units themselves are nice and having multiple is a good option if you can make sense of it. Do note that 2 is not enough to guarantee uptime, but it goes a long way in ironing...

    Have you tried a different USB source to compare? I would have thought that an iPad brick would basically be ideal, and back in the Grasshopper days the initial UL listed charger brick/OEM charge cable combo recommendation I'm pretty sure referenced the old 5W iPhone bricks. My iPad brick is an...

    well there you go, much less likely to have that die than the hopper :doh: most everything is good when working, externally charging the hopper batteries has been my go to for many reasons, so good advice and linkage All these years after I preordered the FAHLSDHSC, for a whopping 35% off...

    I wanted to query how it broke, that's a pity and a bit surprising to me, mines plenty old and has held up well. It seems fairly tough, and without much to go wrong I would have thought. Was it a spring contact that broke? I find it pretty fiddly with 18650s, but the GHBs didn't require any...

    I've also got the silent treatment from HL CS, still trying to sort out a replacement SS body. Meanwhile I may have compromised my purchased replacement body using concentrates, probably needs a deep clean. Can't really do that due to the poor design. Between it and my cooler Ti, I haven't used...

    Interesting tests, sounds like a good improvement from GHB1 It's quite an energy efficient Device considering the limited capacity

    Maybe it's the best portable when working... but that's not a huge victory. There is still a strong element of 'good enough' unless it is running hot and out of spec, in which case it will eventually die. Up until it does, maybe it's better than just good enough, but it's still just another...

    That sucks, but I guess it goes two ways, either really good or really bad. The muck up you're seeing is super frustrating and an outlying experience, far from robbery, yet bad enough to warrant complaints. The fact they've sent you the wrong version is plainly stupid and counterproductive for...

    I've got several rigs custom made by Trap Glass, big recommendation. Check out these gems. One day I may have to request another 14mm in a specific colourway. He was awesome to deal with and made some really cool drop downs from a drawing/detail I sent, plus i got two all colour recyclers for...

    Given everything seen from HL it would be a surprise if their asset tracking is going to prevent any random person from registering a previously unregistered device. Worse case you may need to supply the associated email address of the purchase account and declare you no longer have access...

    The link recently supplied by @warren0728 (posted here) is on point for this use case, Viton FKM, likely FDA approved, covers the right temp stability range and has a high density and correct size for that needed snug fit. Green LEDs are displayed when no batteries are in the slots otherwise...

    The magnetic charger does attach via magnets and charge via contacts, however it is prone to picking up metallic dust if exposed to it. This can bridge the contacts and prevent functionality. Worth checking to see if that is what is preventing the function, but it also doesn't seem that unlikely...

    I can't believe as an Australian that I didn't immediately recognise the hole as a shotty! (Carb hole). It's been a while since I built a bonza stem piece, nearly every bong down here has a carb hole, it's the Oz standard and people get confused when you hand them a seamless gong piece "how do I...

    Nice one! That's an interesting bubbler, looks well suited. Is that a removeable mouthpiece? Was it a repair or part of the original design?

    Yeah it should work, although if it's a fast charger it may not be ideally suited. It will do the job though

    yes yes yes Totally awesome matching set! The silver/onyx/silver is quite a different look to the bright colours, super sleek and neat. That a Ti pipe? (Quiver Summit) with an added accessory holder? (looks like a pendant hanging piece?) Cool!

    that's so awesome! I don't think I've ever brimmed mine, amateur hour over here! Looks good in purple too great choices. Luckily any choice that involves BCG is the right one! Statements like these should be backed up with photographic evidence :brow:

    Balance is crucial so no need to be sorry at all. There's been quite a bit of bubbling my end, I have been keen to share the success. It really sucks that some others who are in my league are stuck on the wrong side of the court. It certainly seems worth the endurance for me, but at the same...

    Yeah the chargers do seem to die on the occassion. Yet another custom part... for that reason they are a bit overpriced. Maybe I can send you a spare one, you should be able to use the warranty for it but they'll want it back so there'll be a leg of postage regardless. In the mean time and for...
